Iroquois
Longhouse
The text emphasizes the design, and the architecture
and construction, of the Iroquois longhouse as it appeared 400 years
ago, and before European influence drastically changed the Iroquois
culture. The intention is to present Iroquois technology as it was before
the influx of Europeans. The design of the longhouse reflects the social
organization within Iroquois culture. Its architecture and construction
are adapted to the raw materials available to the Iroquois in their
immediate surroundings, and to the tools and technology in their possession.

Language Home Page
The Iroquois are in the throes of reinventing
themselves yet again, a tradition that is itself seven times seven generations
old. For the most part, these are wise and principled people, who understand
that nothing is ever settled once and for all, and who have learned
to live comfortably with uncertainty that understanding entails. Despite
everything that has occurred through their long past and the uncertainty
of the future, the Iroqouis prepare the way for the seventh generation
still to come.
